"Smashingly funny...This To Be or Not to Be scarcely misses a comic beat right from the opening sequence" | ||
|
|
|
"Very funny stuff" | ||
 |
|
"Though Brooks is tasteless as usual in 'To Be Or Not To Be', his remake of Ernest Lubitsch's 1942 comedy of the same name may be his best work since his debut film, 'The Producers.'" | ||
|
|
|
"The plot is much the same as in the Ernst Lubitsch original, with everything played for laughs and Brooks at his funniest in impersonations of Nazis. What's missing is the relevance of the 1942 film" | ||
 |
|
"Johnson may not quite have Lubitsch's lightness of touch, but he puts an excellent cast through their paces with great verve, and the charm is as potent as ever" | ||
|
|
|
"A mild farce - benign but not really very funny." | ||
|
|
|
"An extraordinarily faithful 1983 remake of Ernst Lubitsch's 1942 farce." |
